This is my local library. I think it’s gorgeous, housed in a pretty old building just down the street from my place. (And they allow dogs – always a plus!)

I used to visit the library all the time as a kid. In the past years I’ve been buying books more, especially since getting my Kindle. Only recently did I start going to the library again.

Do you prefer buying or borrowing books? 😌

One of the most recent reviews up on the blog (link in my bio) is The Confession by Jo Spain. It’s a crime/thriller novel that starts with a wealthy banker being bashed almost to death in front of his wife. It’s not a ‘who dunnit’ but a ‘why dunnit’ 🖤

Because you amazing book nerds got me to 500 followers in less than a month, I want to say Thank You! .
🖤
This is my favorite book of all time and I love sharing it with people. Come learn about Low Men and Bobby’s first kiss!

I will pick TWO winners on January 28th!

I read Talking As Fast As I Can about a year ago and loved it! I’ve had Someday, Someday, Maybe on my shelf for almost as long and can’t wait to read it. (Let’s hope it’s a decent read🤞🏻) I just adore Lauren Graham and everything she does! ☕️☕️☕️

How do you feel about books written by celebrities?

The @foragemobile#bookshelves are complete! Huge thanks to @artisan_builder_in_laguna for all of the amazing teaching and education on custom saw cuts, scribing, and custom cabinetry. I definitely upped my game and skill set for woodworking.
Prakash is an amazingly talented and inspiring brother!
Check out his work, and if you’re in the #LagunaBeach area, talk to him about custom construction.
Luckily, on the face of both shelves we added Sanskrit bijas. Om, which is said to be the encompassing vibration of the entire universe, and shrim, bija of Lakshmi, for auspicious protection and abundance.
Now, when I head back east, I can bring a lot more books on the journey :) Check out lots more at www.returntonature.us

I’ll be real: I started this account seventeen days ago because I was like “I need more social media to get Net Galley ARCs, so I guess I’ll do that bookstagram I’ve been thinking about forever.”

I am Blown Away. I just want to see pretty bookish pictures and talk about stories with you. So thank you all, sincerely, for knocking my socks off. 🖤🖤🖤

I guess it’s about time for a giveaway....🤔😉

Good evening my fellow book lovers! I finished Demian this morning and now I'm having my lunch break at work, bleh. I've read 5 out of 7 books this month so far (7 is my monthly goal). With that in mind, I'm keeping up with my #unreadshelfproject2018 , are you? 💫

My inspiration for reading Demian by Hermann Hesse wasn't because I saw it on Bookstagram or even Goodreads. It was BTS! BTS's album WINGS was loosely based on Demian or at least they had used it for inspiration. And although I saw many similarities between the book and a few of their songs, mainly BS&T, the similarites were more in the first half of the book rather than the whole thing. At least that's what I think. If you've also read Demian because you're a BTS fan (or if you've just read it), let me know what you thought of it below!
